Theresa Clowes

Chair of Art Education and Fine Arts

BFA - Kansas City Art Institute
MFA - Cranbrook Academy of Art

Theresa Clowes has been exploring the properties of textiles for more than 20 years. In addition to being a professional artist, she is also an experienced teacher. Clowes was a Senior Instructor at Colorado Academy for 10 years.
Theresa believes that being an artist does not stray far from being a teacher; they both come from the heart and soul. Her artwork incorporates juxtapositions: textiles and architecture, ephemeral fabric and discarded objects, translucency and opaqueness. Patterns created by light and shadow come alive within these opposites. For a moment, she enables viewers to slow down, observe, and contemplate the calming rhythms and repeated patterns found in nature. Capturing frozen moments, her work emphasizes the natural beauty of a single leaf, rock, or stick. Her work has been exhibited locally at Vertigo Art Space and Edge Gallery and nationally in Kansas City, Detroit, Houston, Aspen, and Portland, Oregon.
